Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the pump needle is correctly inserted into the valve and is not blocked. Try a different pump needle if available.
Ball loses air quickly
Check the valve for any damage or debris. Ensure the pump needle was inserted straight and didn't damage the valve. Re-inflate and monitor; if it continues, the valve may be faulty.
Surface feels sticky or less grippy
Clean the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt and oils that may be affecting the grip. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals.
Ball feels too hard or too soft
Adjust the inflation level. Refer to general guidelines for Size 3 rugby balls if specific pressure is not indicated, aiming for a firm but not rigid feel.
